Abstract: Science is a piece of knowledge as well as a process. The knowledge of science has been expanded day-to-day; however, the process of doing science in the classroom remained unchanged. Our classroom followsa very conventional way of doing science. Even used of information and communication technology are popular in teaching-learning of science but how to integrate ICT effectively according to pedagogical demand of teaching-learning of science is remained an issue. Many researchers concluded that ICT tools have great affordances in pedagogical strategies of teaching-learning of science. For example, computer simulation, animation, data logging, and online discussion forum...........
